Summary
Mihir Patil is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and shipping scalable distributed systems, currently working on infrastructure at MongoDB after a recent role in LinkedIn’s Media Infrastructure team. He brings deep C++ and Python expertise with a strong background in storage, networking, virtualization and control-plane architectures developed across VMware (NSX) and prior roles at Microsoft and Intuit. Mihir has led cross-language RPC projects, started the NSX-RPC Go implementation, and built efficient sync primitives such as a Merkle Tree library—skills that reflect both systems design and pragmatic delivery. With a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he pairs rigorous academic training with hands-on mentorship and team leadership across complex, high-scale cloud platforms. An engineer who moves between low-level performance optimization and large-system coordination, he’s comfortable rebuilding core infrastructure that other teams adopt.
